Description

Sistema de iluminación.Lighting system.

La invención se refiere a un sistema de iluminación que comprende al menos dos diodos emisores de luz, emitiendo cada uno de dichos diodos emisores de luz, en funcionamiento, luz visible en un intervalo de longitud de onda preseleccionado.The invention relates to a system of lighting comprising at least two light emitting diodes, emitting each of said light emitting diodes, in operation, visible light in a wavelength range preselected

Los sistemas de iluminación basados en diodos emisores de luz (LED, light-emitting diode) se utilizan como una fuente de luz blanca para aplicaciones de iluminación general.Lighting systems based on light emitting diodes (LED, light-emitting diode) are used as a white light source for general lighting applications.

Se conoce un sistema de iluminación del tipo mencionado en el párrafo inicial. En los últimos años, aparte de los diodos emisores de luz roja basados en GaP, también se han desarrollado diodos emisores de luz azul y diodos emisores de luz verde eficaces, basados en GaN. Con el fin de producir luz blanca, en principio, son necesarios tres LED como la fuente de luz primaria, concretamente un LED azul, uno verde y uno rojo.A lighting system of the type is known mentioned in the opening paragraph. In recent years, apart from GaP-based red light emitting diodes have also been developed blue light emitting diodes and light emitting diodes Green effective, based on GaN. In order to produce white light, In principle, three LEDs are needed as the light source primary, specifically a blue LED, one green and one red.

Es un inconveniente de tales sistemas de iluminación que una combinación de tres LED como la fuente de luz primaria no siempre lleva a la reproducción del color deseada, lo que puede atribuirse al hecho de que los LED con máximo espectral en las regiones espectrales deseadas, que al mismo tiempo son suficientemente eficaces en cuanto a la energía, no están disponibles o son insuficientes.It is a drawback of such systems of lighting that a combination of three LEDs as the light source primary does not always lead to the reproduction of the desired color, what which can be attributed to the fact that LEDs with maximum spectral in the desired spectral regions, which at the same time are energy efficient enough, they are not available or insufficient.

Es un objeto de la invención proporcionar un sistema de iluminación del tipo descrito en el párrafo inicial, que presente una reproducción del color mejorada. La invención tiene además como objetivo mejorar la eficacia luminosa del sistema de iluminación.It is an object of the invention to provide a lighting system of the type described in the initial paragraph, which present improved color reproduction. The invention has also as an objective to improve the light efficiency of the system illumination.

Para conseguir esto, el sistema de iluminación del tipo descrito en el párrafo inicial se caracteriza según la invención porque el sistema de iluminación incluye medios de conversión para convertir una parte de la luz visible emitida por uno de los diodos emisores de luz en luz visible en un intervalo de longitud de onda adicional para optimizar la reproducción del color del sistema de iluminación.To achieve this, the lighting system of the type described in the initial paragraph is characterized according to the invention because the lighting system includes means of conversion to convert a part of the visible light emitted by one of the light emitting diodes in visible light in a range of additional wavelength to optimize color reproduction of the lighting system.

Los medios de conversión se excitan mediante luz que procede de uno de los al menos dos LED. Una parte de esta luz se convierte mediante los medios de conversión, por ejemplo mediante un proceso de absorción y emisión, en luz visible en el intervalo de longitud de onda adicional. Esto da como resultado un sistema de iluminación que comprende, de hecho, tres fuentes de luz, concretamente dos fuentes de luz primaria que se forman mediante los al menos dos LED, fuentes de luz primaria que emiten luz visible en un intervalo de longitud de onda preseleccionado, y una denominada fuente de luz secundaria que emite luz visible en el intervalo de longitud de onda adicional. Mediante una elección adecuada de los intervalos de longitud de onda en los que estas dos fuentes de luz primaria y la fuente de luz secundaria emiten luz visible, se obtiene un sistema de iluminación que tiene una reproducción del color mejorada con respecto a un sistema de iluminación basado en las dos fuentes de luz primaria. Puesto que se evita la aplicación de una tercera fuente de luz primaria (por ejemplo un LED verde o un LED rojo), se obtiene una reproducción del color mejorada del sistema de iluminación.The conversion means are excited by light which comes from one of the at least two LEDs. A part of this light it is converted by means of conversion, for example by a process of absorption and emission, in visible light in the interval of additional wavelength. This results in a system of lighting comprising, in fact, three light sources, specifically two primary light sources that are formed by the at least two LEDs, primary light sources that emit visible light in a preselected wavelength range, and a called secondary light source that emits visible light in the additional wavelength range. Through a choice adequate of the wavelength intervals in which these two primary light sources and secondary light source emit light visible, you get a lighting system that has a enhanced color reproduction with respect to a system of lighting based on the two primary light sources. Since the application of a third primary light source is avoided (by example a green LED or a red LED), a reproduction is obtained of the improved color of the lighting system.

Preferiblemente, los medios de conversión comprenden un material luminiscente. Tales materiales son muy adecuados porque tienen generalmente una alta eficiencia cuántica y un alto equivalente en lúmenes (expresado en lm/W), de modo que se obtiene una alta eficacia luminosa del sistema de iluminación. Además, se conocen muchas variedades de materiales luminiscentes inorgánicos y orgánicos (estables) (luminóforos), de modo que la selección de un material para conseguir el objetivo según la invención (mejorar la reproducción del color) se simplifica.Preferably, the conversion means They comprise a luminescent material. Such materials are very suitable because they generally have high quantum efficiency and a high equivalent in lumens (expressed in lm / W), so that obtains a high luminous efficacy of the lighting system. In addition, many varieties of luminescent materials are known inorganic and organic (stable) (luminophores), so that the selection of a material to achieve the objective according to the invention (improve color reproduction) is simplified.

Puede influirse de dos maneras en la reproducción del color del sistema de iluminación. Por un lado, la reproducción del color espacial se mejora mezclando óptimamente la luz que procede de los LED y los medios de conversión. Por otro lado, la reproducción del color del sistema de iluminación se mejora adoptando medidas que aseguran que la salida de luz de los LED es independiente del tiempo. Tal dependencia se obtiene, por ejemplo, si la salida de luz de un LED cambia en función de la temperatura del LED. En este caso, presenta ventajas el uso de LED independientes de la temperatura.It can be influenced in two ways in the Color reproduction of the lighting system. On the one hand, the spatial color reproduction is improved by optimally mixing the light that comes from LEDs and conversion media. For another side, the color reproduction of the lighting system is improved adopting measures that ensure that the LED light output is independent of time. Such dependence is obtained, for example, if the light output of an LED changes depending on the temperature of the LED. In this case, the use of LEDs has advantages independent of temperature.

Según un primer aspecto de la invención, el material luminiscente puede excitarse preferiblemente mediante luz que procede del intervalo de longitud de onda de 400 a 500 nm. En virtud de esta sensibilidad, el material luminiscente puede utilizarse muy adecuadamente para absorber, en particular, luz azul. Esta luz absorbida se convierte muy eficazmente mediante el material luminiscente en luz visible en el intervalo de longitud de onda adicional, por ejemplo luz verde.According to a first aspect of the invention, the luminescent material can preferably be excited by light which comes from the wavelength range of 400 to 500 nm. In by virtue of this sensitivity, the luminescent material can be used very well to absorb, in particular, blue light. This absorbed light is converted very effectively by the luminescent material in visible light in the length range of additional wave, for example green light.

Materiales luminiscentes adecuados son (Sr,Ca)_{2}SiO_{4}:Eu^{2+}, Ba_{2}SiO_{4}:Eu^{2+}, SrGa_{2}S_{4}, ZnS:Cu^{+}, ZnS:Au^{+}, ZnS:Al^{3+}, (Zn,Cd)S:Ag^{+} y CaS:Ce^{3+}. Dichos materiales tienen una eficiencia cuántica y absorción de luz relativamente altas a 450 nm. Estos materiales presentan además un equivalente en lúmenes relativamente muy alto cuando se convierte luz azul en la luz verde deseada.Suitable luminescent materials are (Sr, Ca) 2 SiO 4: Eu 2+, Ba 2 SiO 4: Eu 2+, SrGa 2 S 4, ZnS: Cu +, ZnS: Au +, ZnS: Al3 +, (Zn, Cd) S: Ag + and CaS: Ce 3+. These materials have a quantum efficiency and relatively high light absorption at 450 nm. These materials they also have a relatively very high lumens equivalent when blue light becomes the desired green light.

Una realización muy atractiva del sistema de iluminación según un primer aspecto de la invención se caracteriza porque los dos diodos emisores de luz comprenden al menos un diodo emisor de luz azul y al menos un diodo emisor de luz roja, y porque los medios de conversión comprenden un material luminiscente (emisor del luz verde) para convertir una parte de la luz emitida por el diodo emisor de luz azul en luz verde. De esta manera, se obtiene un sistema de iluminación según un primer aspecto de la invención que emite luz blanca con un alto índice de reproducción del color basándose en los tres colores básicos (rojo, azul y verde), en el que sólo se emplean dos fuentes de luz primaria, concretamente luz azul y roja, y la luz verde se obtiene convirtiendo una parte de la luz azul. Preferiblemente, el máximo de la emisión espectral del diodo emisor de luz azul se encuentra en el intervalo de longitud de onda de 460 a 490 nm, el máximo de la emisión espectral del diodo emisor de luz roja se encuentra en el intervalo de longitud de onda de 610 a 630 nm, y el máximo de la emisión espectral del material luminiscente (emisor de luz verde) se encuentra en el intervalo de longitud de onda de 510 a 530 nm.A very attractive realization of the system lighting according to a first aspect of the invention is characterized because the two light emitting diodes comprise at least one diode blue light emitter and at least one red light emitting diode, and because The conversion means comprise a luminescent material (emitter of the green light) to convert a part of the light emitted by the blue light emitting diode in green light. In this way, you get a lighting system according to a first aspect of the invention It emits white light with a high color reproduction rate based on the three basic colors (red, blue and green), in the that only two primary light sources are used, namely light blue and red, and green light is obtained by turning a part of the blue light. Preferably, the maximum spectral emission of the blue light emitting diode is in the length range wavelength from 460 to 490 nm, the maximum spectral emission of the diode  Red light emitter is in the wavelength range from 610 to 630 nm, and the maximum spectral emission of the material luminescent (green light emitter) is in the range of wavelength from 510 to 530 nm.

Según un segundo aspecto de la invención, el material luminiscente puede excitarse preferiblemente mediante luz que procede del intervalo de longitud de onda de 500 a 560 nm. En virtud de esta sensibilidad, el material luminiscente puede utilizarse muy adecuadamente para absorber, en particular, luz verde. Esta luz absorbida se convierte muy eficazmente mediante el material luminiscente en luz visible en el intervalo de longitud de onda adicional, por ejemplo, luz roja.According to a second aspect of the invention, the luminescent material can preferably be excited by light which comes from the wavelength range of 500 to 560 nm. In by virtue of this sensitivity, the luminescent material can be used very well to absorb, in particular, light green. This absorbed light is converted very effectively by the luminescent material in visible light in the length range of additional wave, for example, red light.

Materiales luminiscentes adecuados son CaS:Eu,Mn; CaS:Eu; SrS:Eu; (Zn,Cd)S:Ag; SrO:Eu; Sr_{3}B_{2}O_{6}:Eu; Sr_{2}Mg(BO_{3})_{2}; CaS:Eu,Mn; CaS:Eu o SrS:Eu. Dichos materiales tienen una eficiencia cuántica y absorción de luz relativamente altas. Estos materiales presentan además un equivalente en lúmenes relativamente muy alto cuando se convierte luz azul o luz verde en la luz roja deseada.Suitable luminescent materials are CaS: Eu, Mn; CaS: Eu; SrS: Eu; (Zn, Cd) S: Ag; SrO: Eu; Sr 3 B 2 O 6: Eu; Sr 2 Mg (BO 3) 2; CaS: Eu, Mn; CaS: Eu o Mr: Eu. These materials have a quantum efficiency and relatively high light absorption. These materials present also an equivalent in relatively very high lumens when convert blue light or green light to the desired red light.

Una realización muy atractiva del sistema de iluminación según un segundo aspecto de la invención se caracteriza porque los dos diodos emisores de luz comprenden al menos un diodo emisor de luz azul y al menos un diodo emisor de luz verde, y porque los medios de conversión comprenden un material luminiscente para convertir una parte de la luz emitida por el diodo emisor de luz azul y/o verde en luz roja. Una ventaja importante del uso de LED azul y verde como la fuente de luz primaria es que ambos chips de diodos pueden fabricarse por medio de la tecnología de GaN conocida en sí misma. A diferencia de los chips de diodos de GaP rojos, tales chips de diodos de GaN azules y verdes no dependen de la temperatura, de modo que puede prescindirse del uso de electrónica relativamente cara para compensar la dependencia de la temperatura de tales chips de diodos. Una ventaja adicional reside en que dichos chips de diodos de GaN azules y verdes pueden entrar en contacto por el mismo lado, de modo que pueden disponerse fácilmente en serie. El uso de un material luminiscente excitado por luz verde que emite luz roja presenta la ventaja adicional con respecto a un material luminiscente excitado por luz azul que emite luz roja de que el déficit cuántico es menor. Preferiblemente, el máximo de la emisión espectral del diodo emisor de luz azul se encuentra en el intervalo de longitud de onda de 460 a 490 nm, el máximo de la emisión espectral del diodo emisor de luz verde se encuentra en el intervalo de longitud de onda de 510 a 550 nm, y el máximo de la emisión espectral del material luminiscente emisor de luz roja se encuentra en el intervalo de longitud de onda de 610 a 630 nm.A very attractive realization of the system lighting according to a second aspect of the invention is characterized because the two light emitting diodes comprise at least one diode blue light emitter and at least one green light emitting diode, and because the conversion means comprise a luminescent material to convert a part of the light emitted by the emitting diode of blue and / or green light in red light. An important advantage of using Blue and green LED as the primary light source is that both chips of diodes can be manufactured using GaN technology known in itself. Unlike GaP diode chips red, such blue and green GaN diode chips do not depend on the temperature, so that the use of relatively expensive electronics to compensate for the dependence of the temperature of such diode chips. An additional advantage lies in which said blue and green GaN diode chips can enter in contact on the same side, so that they can be arranged easily in series. The use of an excited luminescent material by green light that emits red light presents the additional advantage with regarding a luminescent material excited by blue light that emits red light that the quantum deficit is smaller. Preferably, the maximum spectral emission of the blue light emitting diode is found in the wavelength range of 460 to 490 nm, the maximum spectral emission of the green light emitting diode is found in the wavelength range of 510 to 550 nm, and the maximum spectral emission of the luminescent material emitting Red light is in the wavelength range of 610 to 630 nm

El índice de reproducción del color (R_{a}) del sistema de iluminación según un primer y un segundo aspecto de la invención es preferiblemente al menos igual a o mayor que 80 (R_{a} \geq 80). Mediante una combinación adecuada de las emisiones espectrales de dos fuentes de luz primaria, que se forman mediante los al menos dos LED, y la emisión espectral de una denominada fuente de luz secundaria que, después de la conversión mediante los medios de conversión, emite luz visible en el intervalo de longitud de onda adicional, se obtiene un sistema de iluminación que tiene un alto índice de reproducción del color.The color reproduction index (R_ {a}) of the lighting system according to a first and a second aspect of the invention is preferably at least equal to or greater than 80 (R_ {a} \ geq 80). Through an appropriate combination of spectral emissions from two primary light sources, which are formed by means of the at least two LEDs, and the spectral emission of a called secondary light source which, after conversion by means of conversion, emits visible light in the additional wavelength range, a system of lighting that has a high color reproduction rate.

Un punto de especial interés en el sistema de iluminación según la invención es que al mezclar luz que procede de los LED con luz que procede de los medios de conversión, la dependencia de la dirección de la luz que procede de los LED (fuentes de luz primaria) puede diferir de la dependencia de la dirección de la luz que procede de los medios de conversión (fuente de luz secundaria). En general, los LED emiten luz altamente direccional, mientras que los medios de conversión, en este caso el material luminiscente, emiten luz (difusa) según un radiador de Lambert.A point of special interest in the system of lighting according to the invention is that when mixing light that comes from LEDs with light coming from the conversion means, the dependence on the direction of the light coming from the LEDs (primary light sources) may differ from dependence on the direction of the light that comes from the conversion means (source of secondary light). In general, LEDs emit light highly directional, while the means of conversion, in this case the luminescent material, emit light (diffuse) according to a radiator Lambert

La invención tiene como objetivo además mejorar la mezcla de luz mediante el sistema de iluminación. Para conseguir esto, una realización alternativa del sistema de iluminación según la invención se caracteriza porque el sistema de iluminación está dotado además de medios de reflexión. Los LED se proporcionan en el sistema de iluminación de tal manera que una parte sustancial de la luz que procede de los LED no puede abandonar directamente el sistema de iluminación, sino que en su lugar incide sobre los medios de reflexión. Una ventaja del uso de medios de reflexión es que se mezclan la luz que procede de las dos fuentes de luz primaria (los LED azul y rojo o los LED azul y verde) y la luz secundaria (verde o roja) que procede de los medios de conversión. Los medios de reflexión son preferiblemente medios de reflexión reflectantes de manera difusa. Dirigiendo la luz que procede de los LED a los medios de reflexión reflectantes de manera difusa, la luz reflejada también adquiere las características de un radiador de Lambert. Esto da como resultado una mejora adicional de la mezcla de las diversas componentes de color y por tanto de la reproducción del color del sistema de iluminación. Además, la luz se refleja preferiblemente por los medios de reflexión sin un cambio de la reproducción del color (medios de reflexión reflectantes de luz blanca). De esta manera, se impiden desviaciones de color indeseables en la luz emitida por el sistema de iluminación. Preferiblemente, los medios de reflexión reflectantes de manera difusa comprenden un material elegido del grupo formado por BaSO_{4}, ZnS, ZnO y TiO_{2}. Tales materiales son muy adecuados porque sus coeficientes de reflexión en el intervalo de longitud de onda de 400 a 800 nm están por encima del 98%, y reflejan la luz de una manera difusa e independiente de la longitud
de onda.
The invention also aims to improve the mixing of light by means of the lighting system. To achieve this, an alternative embodiment of the lighting system according to the invention is characterized in that the lighting system is also provided with reflection means. The LEDs are provided in the lighting system in such a way that a substantial part of the light that comes from the LEDs cannot directly leave the lighting system, but instead affects the reflection means. An advantage of the use of reflection media is that the light coming from the two primary light sources (the blue and red LEDs or the blue and green LEDs) and the secondary light (green or red) coming from the media are mixed Of conversation. The reflection means are preferably diffusely reflective reflection means. By directing the light that comes from the LEDs to the reflective reflection media diffusely, the reflected light also acquires the characteristics of a Lambert radiator. This results in a further improvement of the mixing of the various color components and therefore of the color reproduction of the lighting system. In addition, the light is preferably reflected by the reflection means without a change in color reproduction (reflective reflection media of white light). In this way, undesirable color deviations in the light emitted by the lighting system are prevented. Preferably, the diffusely reflective reflective means comprise a material chosen from the group consisting of BaSO 4, ZnS, ZnO and TiO 2. Such materials are very suitable because their reflection coefficients in the wavelength range of 400 to 800 nm are above 98%, and reflect the light in a diffuse and independent manner of the length
cool.

Una realización atractiva del sistema de iluminación según la invención se caracteriza porque los medios de conversión se proporcionan en o sobre los medios de reflexión reflectantes de manera difusa. De esta manera, la luz que procede de los LED se mezcla eficazmente, obtiene la característica de dirección deseada, y los medios de conversión reciben adicionalmente suficiente luz adecuada para la conversión en luz visible en el intervalo de longitud de onda adicional, luz convertida que tiene la misma característica de dirección que la luz reflejada de manera difusa de los LED.An attractive realization of the system lighting according to the invention is characterized in that the means of conversion are provided in or on the reflection media diffusely reflective. In this way, the light that comes of the LEDs mix effectively, get the characteristic of desired address, and conversion media receive additionally enough adequate light for light conversion visible in the additional wavelength range, light converted that has the same address characteristic as the diffusedly reflected light of the LEDs.

La mezcla de colores y/o la característica de dirección de la luz emitida pueden mejorarse de una manera alternativa cubriendo los LED con una capa relativamente delgada del material luminiscente, con lo cual las partículas en el material luminiscente actúan como difusor.The mixture of colors and / or the characteristic of Direction of the emitted light can be improved in a way alternative covering the LEDs with a relatively thin layer of the luminescent material, whereby the particles in the Luminescent material act as diffuser.

Es deseable además que la temperatura de color del sistema de iluminación sea variable. Una realización alternativa del sistema de iluminación según la invención se caracteriza porque la temperatura de color del sistema de iluminación puede ajustarse controlando por separado los diodos emisores de luz. La temperatura de color puede ajustarse (eléctricamente) controlando por separado los LED. Una realización adecuada de tal elemento de ajuste incluye una primera cadena de diodos de LED rojos y azules y una segunda cadena de diodos de LED exclusivamente azules (o exclusivamente rojos). Una realización adecuada adicional de tal elemento de ajuste incluye una primera cadena de diodos de LED azules y verdes y una segunda cadena de diodos de LED exclusivamente azules (o exclusivamente verdes). Como resultado de ello, se consigue un intervalo de temperatura de color ajustable de 2000 a 6300 K. El ajuste de la temperatura de color viene determinado en parte por la cantidad de material luminiscente (medios de conversión).It is also desirable that the color temperature of the lighting system be variable. An alternative embodiment  of the lighting system according to the invention is characterized in that The color temperature of the lighting system can be adjusted controlling light emitting diodes separately. Temperature Color can be adjusted (electrically) by controlling separately LEDs A suitable embodiment of such adjustment element includes a first string of red and blue LEDs and a second exclusively blue LED diode chain (or exclusively red). A further suitable embodiment of such adjustment element includes a first string of blue and green LED diodes and a second string of exclusively blue LED diodes (or exclusively green). As a result, you get a Adjustable color temperature range from 2000 to 6300 K. The Color temperature adjustment is determined in part by the amount of luminescent material (conversion media).

La figura 1A es una vista parcialmente en sección transversal y una vista lateral de una realización del sistema de iluminación según un primer aspecto de la invención. Un sistema 1 de iluminación comprende un alojamiento 2 que aloja una electrónica de control (no mostrada en la figura 1A) para los diodos emisores de luz (LED) y una pantalla 3. En este ejemplo, el alojamiento está dotado de un denominado casquillo 4 de lámpara E27 que tiene medios de contacto eléctricos y mecánicos que se conocen en sí mismos. En un lado del sistema 1 de iluminación opuesto al casquillo 4 de lámpara, hay un soporte 5 sobre el que se proporcionan un número de LED 6, 6',...; 7, 7',...; 8, 8',... Los LED 6, 6',...; 7, 7',... comprenden un conjunto de LED 6, 6',... azules (el máximo de la emisión espectral se encuentra en el intervalo de longitud de onda de 430 a 490 nm) y LED 7, 7',... rojos (el máximo de la emisión espectral se encuentra en el intervalo de longitud de onda de 590 a 630 nm), LED 6, 6',...; 7, 7',... que se disponen de tal modo que la luz que emiten se dirige hacia la pantalla 3. La figura 1B muestra muy esquemáticamente un ejemplo de una disposición circular, esquemática de los LED 6, 6',...; 7, 7',... (seccionada por la línea I-I en la figura 1A). En un lado dirigido a los LED 6, 6',...; 7, 7',... la pantalla 3 está dotada de medios 9 de reflexión (reflectantes de manera difusa) y medios 10 de conversión. En este ejemplo, los medios 9 de reflexión comprenden una capa de BaSO4, material que presenta un coeficiente de reflexión (difusa) de al menos sustancialmente el 100% para la luz visible. Los medios 10 de conversión comprenden preferiblemente un material luminiscente (luminóforo) que tiene la característica de que convierte luz azul (400 a 480 nm) que procede de los LED 6, 6',... azules en luz verde en el intervalo de longitud de onda adicional deseado (530 a 565 nm). Los medios 10 de conversión convierten luz visible emitida por uno de los diodos emisores de luz en luz visible en un intervalo que tiene una longitud de onda más larga. En la Tabla I se muestra un conjunto de materiales luminiscentes adecuados, en la que para cada uno de los materiales se indican la eficiencia cuántica a 450 nm (QE_{450}), el coeficiente de absorción a 450 nm (Abs_{450}) y el equivalente en lúmenes (LE).Figure 1A is a view partially in cross section and a side view of an embodiment of the lighting system according to a first aspect of the invention. A lighting system 1 comprises a housing 2 that houses a control electronics (not shown in figure 1A) for diodes light emitters (LED) and a display 3. In this example, the housing is equipped with a so-called lamp socket 4 E27 which has known electrical and mechanical contact means in themselves. On one side of the lighting system 1 opposite the lamp socket 4, there is a support 5 on which they provide a number of LED 6, 6 ', ...; 7, 7 ', ...; 8, 8 ', ... LED 6, 6 ', ...; 7, 7 ', ... comprise a set of LED 6, 6', ... blue (the maximum spectral emission is in the wavelength range from 430 to 490 nm) and LED 7, 7 ', ... red (the maximum spectral emission is in the wavelength range from 590 to 630 nm), LED 6, 6 ', ...; 7, 7 ', ... which are arranged in such a way that the light they emit is directed towards screen 3. Figure 1B shows very schematically a example of a circular, schematic arrangement of LED 6, 6 ', ...; 7, 7 ', ... (sectioned by the I-I line in the figure 1A). On one side directed to LED 6, 6 ', ...; 7, 7 ', ... screen 3 is provided with reflection means 9 (reflective of diffuse way) and means of conversion. In this example, the reflection means 9 comprise a layer of BaSO4, material that has a reflection coefficient (diffuse) of at least substantially 100% for visible light. The means 10 of conversion preferably comprise a luminescent material (luminophore) that has the characteristic that converts blue light (400 to 480 nm) that comes from LEDs 6, 6 ', ... blue in green light in the desired additional wavelength range (530 to 565 nm). The conversion means 10 convert visible light emitted by one of the light emitting diodes in visible light in an interval that It has a longer wavelength.

Para obtener suficiente luz verde y para evitar pérdidas, la pantalla 3 se realiza y se dispone preferiblemente de tal modo que, dependiendo del grado de reflexión del material luminiscente, sólo se produce una reflexión o se producen un número de reflexiones. Es deseable además que el material luminiscente refleje completamente, al menos sustancialmente, la luz de los LED rojos. La luz de los LED rojos y azules se mezcla eficazmente mediante los medios 9 de reflexión, situándose los LED 6, 6',...; 7, 7',... rojos y azules con respecto a la pantalla 3 de tal manera que estos LED no emiten directamente su luz en una dirección 11 de la luz emitida por el sistema 1 de iluminación, sino que sus salidas de luz se dirigen hacia una parte interior de la pantalla 4 de tal manera que sólo se emite luz reflejada en la dirección 11.To get enough green light and to avoid losses, screen 3 is realized and preferably available such that, depending on the degree of reflection of the material luminescent, only one reflection occurs or a number occurs of reflections It is also desirable that the luminescent material fully reflect, at least substantially, the LED light red The light of the red and blue LEDs mixes effectively by means of reflection means 9, the LEDs being 6, 6 ', ...; 7, 7 ', ... red and blue with respect to screen 3 in such a way that these LEDs do not directly emit their light in a direction 11 of the light emitted by the lighting system 1, but its light outputs are directed towards an inner part of the screen 4 in such a way that only light reflected in the direction is emitted eleven.

Los LED rojos y azules pueden controlarse por separado, permitiendo de ese modo variar y ajustar la temperatura de color del sistema 1 de iluminación según los requisitos. Un ejemplo de esto es la aplicación de una cadena de diodos con LED rojos y azules y una cadena de diodos adicional con LED exclusivamente azules (véase también la figura 4). Esta ordenación de LED permite que se varíe la parte de luz roja en la fuente de luz primaria. Puesto que la relación de la emisión azul con respecto a la emisión verde es fija en una ordenación de LED de este tipo [los LED 6, 6',... están dirigidos directamente a la capa con material luminiscente (Ba_{2}SiO_{4}:Eu^{2+})], el ejemplo de la figura 1A también contiene un número de LED 8, 8',... azules adicionales que emiten de manera muy difusa en la dirección 11 de la luz emitida por el sistema 1 de iluminación. Esta medida permite que se varíe por separado la parte roja y azul en la luz blanca emitida por el sistema 1 de iluminación. Esto da como resultado una posibilidad de ajuste adicional para ajustar la relación de luz roja y azul primaria y luz verde secundaria, proporcionando por tanto al sistema 1 de iluminación una temperatura de color ajustable.Red and blue LEDs can be controlled by separated, thereby allowing to vary and adjust the temperature Color of the lighting system 1 according to the requirements. A An example of this is the application of a LED diode chain reds and blues and an additional LED diode chain exclusively blue (see also figure 4). This sort LED allows the part of red light in the light source to vary primary. Since the blue emission ratio with respect to the green emission is fixed in an LED sort of this type [the LED 6, 6 ', ... are directed directly to the layer with material luminescent (Ba 2 SiO 4: Eu 2+)], the example of the Figure 1A also contains a number of LEDs 8, 8 ', ... blue additional ones that emit very diffusely at address 11 of the light emitted by the lighting system 1. This measure allows that the red and blue part in the white light be varied separately emitted by lighting system 1. This results in a possibility of additional adjustment to adjust the red light ratio and primary blue and secondary green light, thus providing 1 lighting system an adjustable color temperature.

A modo de ejemplo, la Tabla II muestra un sistema de iluminación según un primer aspecto de la invención, que comprende:As an example, Table II shows a lighting system according to a first aspect of the invention, which understands:

- LED de GaN azules (marca Nichia) con un máximo de emisión a 470 nm, FWHM = 20 nm;- Blue GaN LEDs (Nichia brand) with a maximum emission at 470 nm, FWHM = 20 nm;

La columna 5 en la Tabla II enumera el índice de reproducción del color (R_{a}) y la columna 6 enumera la eficacia luminosa (efic. lum.) del sistema de iluminación. La Tabla II muestra que la proporción de luz verde (columna 3) varía relativamente poco a las diferentes temperaturas de color. La temperatura de color del sistema de iluminación puede ajustarse fácilmente en un intervalo muy amplio cambiando sólo la distribución de las fuentes de luz primaria (la luz azul y roja).Column 1 of Table II lists various desirable values for the color temperature (T_ {c}). The columns 2, 3 and 4 of Table II list the contributions spectral (x) of the three light components (the sum of the three spectral contributions x amounts to 1). Column 5 in the Table II lists the color reproduction index (R_ {a}) and the column 6 lists the luminous efficacy (luminous efficiency) of the illumination. Table II shows that the proportion of green light (column 3) varies relatively little at different temperatures color. The color temperature of the lighting system can easily adjust over a very wide range by changing only the distribution of primary light sources (blue light and red).

Según la medición de la invención, se consigue de esta manera un sistema de iluminación que tiene una reproducción del color relativamente alta (80 \leq R_{a} \leq 90).According to the measurement of the invention, it is achieved in this way a lighting system that has a reproduction of relatively high color (80 ≤ R_ {a} ≤ 90).
